Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Fujifilm X-H1 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only): Enhancing Your Digital Photography Experience by Enrique Espinoza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Get used/discontinued prices while you can! They're getting harder and harder to find!

There has been a lot of talk about Fujifilm "shortening the bed" for the first buyers of this camera. They released the XT-3 and now the XT-4 shortly after the XH-1. Maybe it's true, but a few months ago they lowered the price of the clutch. These offers are gone. But I decided to buy a used one at a good price through Revain. I also bought a battery grip from Open Box. Yes, the new type XT-4 combines the XT-3 and XH-1 in one camera. Yes, the new XT-4 has better specs (especially for video). But. If you're looking for a Fujifilm camera that's built like a tank (made in Japan), with an LCD display on top and feels good in your hand, this could be your answer. It also features the quietest mechanical shutter I've ever seen. The touch-sensitive trigger takes some getting used to. But I got used to it easily and even jumped back and forth between it and the more traditional trigger on my XPro-3. To be honest, I am a hobby photographer (over 40 years). For me, the video / blog is just not mine. The XT-4 was definitely designed for this purpose. I added an extra battery grip for longer battery life and better performance. It seems to accelerate to focus. Of course my smaller and more expensive XPro-3 beats the XH-1 in focus speed. But when I'm not doing street photography, I always have the XH-1 in hand. It also handles larger lenses better than my XPro-3, even with the grip attached. Finally, if you are looking for the latest/greatest camera, I'm sure the XT-4 is a great camera considering the high price. For me, the XH-1 works very well. I'm not tempted to upgrade to XT-4. If Fujifilm decides to use the XH-2 in the future, I'll keep that in mind.
